This guy and his moaning cronies treated speaker Kerry McCarthy abysmally. She stated the truth with dignity, intelligently and was heckled by grown old men??The only sustainable farming is for a vegan diet, there's no place for animal farming and slaughter in any proper future for any modern civilization...key word: CIVILIZATION (as in peace and order, no bloodshed of innocents). Yes every human being can thrive on a vegan diet if they want to. There are NO cat-like people who require meat.

Soy is NOT the staple in a vegan diet - you can live off grains, legumes, tubers, fruits, vegetables and nuts/seeds without using soy. It should also be pointed out that close to 90% of soy is grown FOR LIVESTOCK.

interesting debate

[jkraju1]

at 7:55 he says "cutting down on fatty foods, particularly unsaturated fats". He has no clue about nutrition.

SHARED!

what an unbelievable, uninformed ***hole

[NightgauntGer]

That 2/3 are grass is the dumbest thing I have heard in long long time by the way. Misleading my ass, that the old farts pretty much high five on bullshit they pulled right out of their fat asses is really pathetic. He should just have said "I like meat and fish, so screw you". That would have been honest.

[NightgauntGer]

What a dick. I've been a vegan for about 2 years now and people will nitpick just like he does and state untrue facts about how "men is designed to eat meat" and all that nonsense. It's all because they are afraid they have to let go of unhealthy unethical habits, and they wont science take their steak pie away. They are hostile towards us from the start because they think we want to steal from them. And as they are the majority, the might makes right principle works in their favor.

The right honerable idiot doesnt understand that technologically speaking we can grow anything anywhere. The grass fields are not eternally grass fields. They were not grass fields 100-200 years past. Does the right honerable tosser live only in the present? Also the soya remarks are fallacious, soya is used in most breads in every supermarket, and the increase in its use is the result of world demands for profitable food, nothing to do with the low percentage of vegans. What a right honerable.
